Are there really plans to discontinue Elf on a Shelf? Terrible news and rotten timing - 2024 has been rough enough without this downer.
Has humanity lost its sense of humor? Elf on the Shelf was intended to create cheerful holiday moments and precious family memories to last a lifetime.
The Elf on the Shelf is the title of a 2005 American picture book for children. Written by Carol Aebersold and her daughter Chanda Bell - comes complete with a scout toy elf.
Celebrating the birthday of our beloved shooting star - Peque Gallaga.
This photo of Peque working behind the scenes by that giant kawa could likely be the inspiration to naming Mahala Dewdrop Kawali while she was in my belly.
Peque meant a lot to so many of us, touching our lives in big and small ways as teacher, mentor, friend, marking personal breakthroughs and highlights and enhancing our own outlook in life.
For wonder | wander | women, we are eternally grateful and abjectly appreciative to have been accepted and adopted into the whole Peque Gallaga clan for many happy years.
As Peque's mass comm student we parked in their home every semester - working on our various school projects while fed and cared for by his wife Madie, their whole production and household staff, and all five children.
with our production gang - eight months pregnant
When I was pregnant with Mahala, Peque was in Manila mostly and I spent my weekends as Madie's roomie. Two pregnant women spending her last and my first trimester together.
Holed up in bed, munching on home baked and junk food cravings as we vegged on our fave videos. Plotting our conquest of the world was a large part of the agenda too.
Great times that continue to sustain us with lovely memories as we hold our beloved mumo eternally in our hearts.
Today as the sky over New York City is illuminated by the Tribute in Light on the 9/11 Memorial site, we honor and remember our heroes.
The survivors, the fallen, those who served and all the friends and
families affected in the wake of this tragedy - not just that day but through
the years and hopefully all the learnings.
Many around the world watched and were touched too on that memorable
day 14 years ago.
